PhotoAcute Studio improves the quality of photographs taken with digital cameras and camera phones. It increases resolution, reduces noise, removes chromatic aberrations, corrects brightness of overexposed and underexposed parts of the picture.

PhotoAcute Studio is a computer program that allows you to edit digital images.

Most modern digital cameras and some camera phones support the so-called "continuous shooting" or "burst" mode.

PhotoAcute Studio is an application primarily developed for processing sets of digital photographs taken in "continuous mode" to produce high-resolution, low-noise pictures. You will get amazing image quality improvement without changing your camera.

Our time-unlimited free trial mode allows you to evaluate all image processing features.

Image resolution increase beyond camera capabilities.
Using sophisticated algorithms, PhotoAcute Studio produces single high-resolution image from a sequence of photos.

Unlike the digital zooming and image sharpening, resultant images do really have higher spatial resolution. Small, thin and far away objects, traceries, textures and inscriptions become recognizable.

Strong noise reduction without losing image details.
By processing several photos of the same scene, PhotoAcute Studio separates the useful signal and the noise, thus providing strong noise reduction without losing the image details.

Image geometry correction.
PhotoAcute Studio corrects geometric distortion, caused by the camera optics. This gives photos right perspective and natural look.

Chromatic aberrations correction.
Every lens focuses the light of different wavelengths on different positions. This causes chromatic aberration that is seen as "fringes" of color around the image.
PhotoAcute Studio corrects this aberration, minimizing the circle of confusion.

Dynamic range expansion
By using the advanced weighting technique, PhotoAcute Studio is able to restore shadows and clipped highlights from the photos taken in exposure-bracketing mode. It produces the image that could only be taken with the camera that had much wider dynamic range.

Removing the unneeded moving objects.
With PhotoAcute Studio, you can take photo of a scene overlapped with inwanted moving objects, then automatically clearing these objects away.

Here are some key features of "PhotoAcute Studio":

· Larger picture with super-resolution - more pixels in the image. By applying state-of-the-art super-resolution algorithms, tuned to a particular camera, PhotoAcute Studio produces up to 4 times larger photographs. That is not the digital zoom - the photographs really have more pixels, thus giving you more details. Small, thin and far away objects, traceries, textures and inscriptions become recognizable.
· Strong noise reduction without loosing the details. By correlating several snapshots, PhotoAcute Studio automatically reduces the noise on the photographs, without losing useful graphical information.
· The details in underexposed and overexposed parts of an image become visible.
· Color fringing correction. Every lens focuses light with different wavelengths on different positions. This causes chromatic aberration that is seen as "fringes" of color around the image. PhotoAcute corrects this aberration, minimizing the circle of confusion.
· Removal of unneeded moving objects from the scene.
· Fixing handshaking artifacts in low light conditions.

Requirements:

· Pentium-III or Athlon-XP or better processor with SSE support
· 512 MB RAM (more recommended)

Limitations:

· Until registered, the application does not allow saving the processing results
· Nag screen
